The Horizon Hobby web site still has the product instruction manual in pdf format. You may want to check in that. Here is the link to the manual.

I fly the RV-4 and yes, that little demon comes in fast! And I use the flaps, but you still need to come in long and low to prepare for a long landing because this wing really floats. The RealFlight simulation is very realistic and excellent for practice.
Good luck.
